You will probably need about $3-5 million dollars in capitol to start with. Realistically, if you knew much about the boating industry, you would realize that it is not easy to get started in. Look at the facts. How many long time established boat builders have gone out of business in the last 5 years. Along with that, the builders still in business are not building even half the number of boats that they were 5-10 years ago.
Do not turn your hobby into your business.

Before diving in, work as an apprentice at a manufacture. Best way to learn a trade is in the trenches, even if you never plan to get back in to the trench with your own company.

I think you're out of your mind. You gotta get field experience before starting a task like this.
